All the fun of the Fete

This was before the crowds gathered and is meant to show our lovely 'Bermondsey in Bloom' bunting on display outside River Room

and near the playhouse.

Then....things got a bit busy at the BBQ so despite the fact that literally, hundreds of people attended, games were played, faces painted, bouncy castle bounced on and loads of recycled toys and books recycled again - I have no further pictures of the day!  Except to say it was not as sedate as this, much earlier Bermondsey Fete

Yes, BM is not in costume but has been busy at the oven and will be selling her wares and that of others later today at the childrens' school Fete with other stalwarts of the PTA.   Hope it's as jolly as the scene above and at the very least, our weather today is better!
